[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who list a lot of used stuff online, I list 95% of it for free unless it's a legit, in good shape, higher value item. The main value to me is getting it out of my house. Sometimes I've though about listing stuff for like $5-10, but seriously, why? I just want it gone and unless you're selling like 10 used toilets at $10 each and you're getting $100, it's almost pointless. Otherwise listing things for $5 doesn't get any bites, and it just sits.[/quote]

+1, my experience too. Anything I'd sell for $5-10, I will get rid of faster if I list for free and say it goes to the first person who can commit to picking it up. I'll charge for some items but use my judgment -- I only ask for money if it's something I'd be willing to pay for used. I buy a lot of stuff used and am pretty frugal, so this is usually a good litmus test.

Also, I am definitely among the less well off people in the neighborhood. We're middle class but the vast majority of people on our list serve are UMC or just plain wealthy. I know a lot of them from school and activities so I am aware of their economic standing. Obviously people can do what they want, but I do find it surprising when people I know to be pretty well off try to sell things for these amounts of money that I know are trivial to them. It does come off as cheap, or at least oblivious, at least to me.[/quote]
